"He acted like a (bleep)," said a member of the Nets hierarchy. "Took shots from halfcourt, threw balls into the crowd."

Even worse, he did it at the D-League showcase where reps of every NBA team were observing. They tend to remember things like that.

because it's not so much his pot, violence, arrest and irresponsibility issues that get me. at least those can improve as one grows up. it's the fact that williams spent his first three years in the NBA not improving his game in any way that mattered. must be having such god-like athleticism that a team is willing to hang on to you for this long despite all else.

IMO good players make their biggest leap in skill from their rookie to their 2nd seasons, like lopez and CDR. williams blew three seasons and has nothing to show for it... unforgivable.

Totally agree.. after watching Humphries play last night against the clippers...the dude got some skills on him. Strong, can score in the paint, rebounds, an excellent role player. Good pickup for the nets
